Vitos's Qype profile

If you are looking for a traditional and authentic Italian restaurant then look no further. Situated on the busy Northcote Road, Vito's is a welcome respite to the hustle and bustle outside. As you walk in, you will be welcomed by Vito, the owner, who takes great pride in giving a very personal service to all his customers. 2008 marks our 10 year anniversary and so you will find the restaurant is usually full of regulars who come back again and again.

Our dishes are simple with the food speaking for itself. Popular dishes include rack of lamb braised in the oven with garlic, rosemary & white wine, pan-fried scallops with garlic, chilli, white wine & parsley, spaghetti with diced fillet of beef, mushrooms, chilli, tomato sauce & red wine and a range of classic antipasti, pizzas and salads. As well as an extensive a la carte menu and a large selection of wines, we also have daily specials and several 3-course set menus, ranging from £15-£30.

A couple of years ago, we extended the premises with a bar next door. Situated on two small floors, it is not very big, however that helps to create a cosy and intimate environment, in contrast with the more open and lively restaurant next door. We serve nibbles and cocktails as well as a range of good old-fashioned Italian and English beers.

Events that are popular with our current customers are regular wine-tasting evenings which we can notify you of by email and our Sunday lunch "all you can eat" buffet which for an amazing £14.50 you get a selection of Italian starters, a full carvery main course with a choice of roast lamb, turkey, pork and beef with all the trimmings, as well as a choice of desserts.

Both the restaurant and bar can be hired out (together or seperately) free of charge. We cater for parties up to 100 people and specific set menus/canapes/buffets can be arranged on request to suit your needs. In fact, Vito himself will work closely with you to make sure any event you host at Vito's is a success.
